Improve Your Chess: Cliffhanger

Opening: B46: Torre Attack

Player(s):

White makes a bad queen move near the end of the opening and Black develops a strong attack. Black wins a pawn but then finds a clever but flawed combination which loses the advantage. Pressing, Black allows White a winning combination which is missed. Due to the complexities, both sides get short of time. Then, in a relatively equal but imbalanced position, White misses the best defense and gives back a piece, allowing Black an easy endgame win.
